Hi! I'm 17 weeks and DH and I are not finding out the sex. I feel like it has already brought us closer and we are so excited to not know. Somedays it's really hard and I want to give in but I know it will be worth it in the end. We have just been buying gender neutral things (which I actually like some of it better :)) plus when you have the baby and when people find out they will want to buy something for the baby more than likely! Also, a lot of my friends have done it this way and they say it really helps get you through labor because you want to know so bad! Hope this helps!

I didn't find out with my first, it was very difficult at times not knowing but the surprise was so much fun for us and the whole family. We had so many people waiting on the edge of their seat until "IT'S A BOY" was passed around like wildfire. (unfortunately I sort of ruined my surprise by peaking even though the tech didn't say) I got a lot of neutral clothes that I could coordinate with different clothes when baby arrived. I will say that we still call our son's room "the baby's room" instead of his name, but for our second, we'd do it for our second too. (and i won't peak!) What I thought about is for our second, if the baby is born in the later months, I'd stock up on girly clothes 0-6 months at yardsales over the summer. If baby is a boy I'd just donate or resell somewhere. If a girl- now we have girl clothes to get by til the next summer of yardsales. :)

hi, my fiance and I have decided to wait. we already have a 13 month old little girl who we wanted to know. Everyone thought I was having a boy due to how I was carrying when I was preggo with her and now EVERYONE even my family is saying boy for this pregnancy. You never know :) . At first I wanted a boy, but now I want a girl again. We have gender neutral things, but girls you can have so much more fun with and we already have a beautiful name picked out. my soon to be mother in law wants us to find out but it's not about her. Plus this time around, I think it will be really fun to just wait,. The whole family and friends get to rejoice no matter what the sex. A boy will definitely be a new experience for me so I'm definitely anxious! God Bless you and the little one :)

I'm all for team green! We found out with our first and at the birth the dr announced "it's a boy!". I felt like saying, yes we've known for 20 weeks already. With the second we did not find out. It drove friends and some family members insane!!!!! To the point they would analyze every ultrasound pic, so I had to be careful. Well I had a ton of complications and ended up having multiple ultrasounds. At 36.5w they did an ultrasound and fluid was low. At 37w3d I had to have another u/s and if fluid was lower go in to deliver that night. Well turns out we were so caught up in the baby that I forgot to remind the tech not to tell the sex. And she slipped! She told us the sex that day and we ended up going in that night to deliver. We kept it a secret from everyone still and had the baby the next day. I would absolutely be team green again. I wanted dh to make the announcement, but at least we hadn't known for 20w this time.

Continued. So when ppl would say they didn't know what to get, I would say what every baby needs- diapers. I registered for a few neutral outfits. I kept all ds1 clothes and planned on getting some clothes afterwards if it was a girl. But it was another boy. We already had soooo many clothes for him and didn't need any at all. Team green was a lot of fun, even though it drive everyone else crazy!

I'm pregnant with my 2nd, we had a surprise with our 1st and it's was lovely not knowing. All the guessing games and myths with the family made it fun. We bought all neutral colours for the essentials and within a day of bringing our baby girl home the house was covered I'n pink. I loved having a surprise and will def not be finding out with this one........the guessing games continue.It's each to there own and either way it's special thats just my experience.Good luck

Hi my husband & i waited to find out the gender with our 3rd we have 2 boys already and of course the 3rd was to a boy. we r now expecting our 4th and plan to wait again. Waiting is so much more exciting and drives people crazy to know including myself but waiting till delivery is very special. we buy a couple outfits for each and then go shopping after baby is born. We bought lots of yellow to.
